patch is out on the 22nd. that's 27 days. tomorrow i'll be able to add battlecruisers V to my queue. that'll take 23 days, leaving me with 4 days. that'll leave ~5 days. so i'm either going to sacrifice one of the racial battle cruisers, or i'll have a day or two left on battlecruisers IV, but it'll almost be finished training to V

if i train frigs/cruisers before level V battlecruisers, and then the patch comes out before i finish battlecrusiers IV, what will happen to the skillpoints? will they just give me all battlecruisers IV with 0% progress to rank V and say "you just wasted 25 days, but you got all 4 races battlecruisers at IV"? because if that's the case i'd gladly drop one of the racial battle cruisers because I to V is faster than IV to V 4 times.

does that make any more sense?


But that's what I meant. Inferno hits in 27 days, but as far as I know, these changes to BC and Destroyer skills will NOT BE IMPLEMENTED BY THEN.

CCP claimed they wanted to review the ship lines first, possibly introducing new Destroyer hulls. ONLY after they've revisited and redesigned the ships themselves, the changes to skills will be implemented.

So no, you don't JUST have 27 days. You probably have months.

that's good to know, looks like i'll be able to get racial battlecruisers and destroyers then.

Had BC5 trained since whenever, can't think when I did it. I did finish training Destroyer 5 after the announcement, just to be sure (had it on 4, and was only a week training).
Better safe then sorry I say, and I enjoy flying ships of the 4 races (albeit gallente seems underrepresented in ships I fly)

Well, I had BC IV and actually fly 3 different racial BCs, so I went ahead and trained that up. I don't see why I'd bother doing the same with destroyers, though, if I want it it's a short enough skill that bumping it to V four times isn't all that much longer than doing it once. And I have no real use for it now, so meh.

Almost certainly, yes. The only question is when those changes will be implemented.

Quite funny that I had Dessy V and BC V just finished before they announced this :P

Got both Dessy and BC to 5, they're a nice skill to have regardless of the planned changes.

Be funny if CCP turned around and said "LOL! this was all a big troll we're not changing anything we just wanted to see how many people would run out and train BC and Destroyers to lvl 5!" :D

In the knowledge that this probably wasn't a troll I boxed off BC 5 just after the announcement and am gonna get round to doing destroyers V (honest I will)

There once was an interesting signature here... It has long since disapeared.

Well they can't really troll us cause BC V is downright one of the best skills in the game, Dessies V is a little lackluster, but Interdictors have an active role in the metagame and with the Destroyer buff the Thrasher is godlike, so I won't regret BC/Dessie V even though it was a bit premature than what I had planned.

I'm really hoping they add more Destroyer hulls though (come on T1 missile Cormorant), 1 for each race is a little lame especially considering you'll need to train it to IV to get to Cruisers in the planned changes.

Just finishing off Destroyers 5 now, got BC5 last month.

But looking at one of the Dev responses, they won't be doing the skillbook changes for Inferno, so maybe later this year if we are lucky.

There will be no skill change for Inferno. Your destroyer and battlecruiser skills are safe for now
Battlecruisers will have to wait until we have rebalanced frigates and destroyers to have something clean to compare them with

And that's how CCP trolled everyone into training BC V

True.

Thank God BC V is one of the most useful skills out there, and that with the Destroyers buff, Thrashers are fun. Sabres alone made it worth training Destroyers V, in my opinion.

Also....the rumors of new Destroyer hulls make getting it to V even more intriguing.

That would be fine by me. I was planning on flying Command ships eventually. This just gave me an incentive to get this stuff done early.

Pretty much this. And getting BC to V couldn't hurt for...you know...flying battlecruisers...better.

So... may 22nd, if I still have a few days left on BC V, i'm not going to be left out to dry?
I may even have time to get my same-account alts to Dessy and BC V, or at least Dessy V and BC IV?

Also... what was this about freighters?

Oh yeah. It's very bad skill to have at level 5. Lol

I was going to train it anyway, so why should I wait if I can train it now. Especially now after seeing new Absolution and Damnation...

From my understanding of what the devs have said we will have some time before the changes are in place. The first release with Inferno will be focused on frigs from what it seems. You probably have months until they actually get around to the dest/bc. Even more so if what they planned to do doesn't work too well with frigs.

In my opinion this entire change is ******* ******** though. It does not make things simpler for ANYONE. It just adds more time that you will have to spend training and in turn gives CCP more money from your subscription.

I had both to 5 before it was cool!

Though never finished interdictor training. Liked my lvl 5 command ship too muchTwisted
